Stopped by on a beautiful day with a few friends. I had seen their website and thought it looked fun to come to. I was a bit disappointed that it was more of a traditional bar rather than somewhere to try out the liquor or brewery style feel... had a drink which was good and then ordered the tots! Because if you have seen their website you gotta try the tots. We has the mac n cheese, blt and torta tots. The tots themselves were good, under salted. The mac n cheese was kraft with a cheese sauce on top. Blt was disappointed because the tomatoes were huge making it hard to eat. The torta were the favorite and most original. I had a side salad and ordered spicy mustard as thr dressing but it was just mustard and not a dressing and the salad was dirty. Overall I wouldn't come back here, just not my style and the food isn't worth the return.

The food is absolutely horrible. I paid $21 for my 3 kids to eat Mac n cheese that was so dry because I’m pretty sure it was reheated in a microwave. The nachos had no flavor. We had 11 people and none of us liked the food. The server was very sweet though which is the only reason we didn’t complain. Especially about that Mac n cheese. Lesson learned.

My husband & I and our 3 kids, ages 18, 15 & 12 came to The Dells from MI, on our Spring-break. When looking for dinner ideas, we googled some and asked some people, but came up with The Distillery: menu looked good so thought we’d try it. Upon entering, we hesitated at the door, wondering if we’d be seated or just seat ourself. Guy behind the bar, yells “you can just go sit down”. They weren’t very busy, so felt kind of awkward that we were getting stares from a couple of the workers. We sat down and literally waited 12 minutes and still hadn’t even had a server acknowledge we were there. We got up and headed for the door and nobody said anything to us. If they don’t want families in their establishment, their sign shouldn’t say families welcome. Absolutely awful service or lack of, I should say and extremely rude and arrogant to treat tourists that way when we’re here spending money in your city. We walked over to Monk’s and was greeted instantly and our friendly waitress arrived asking for our drinks within 1-2 minutes at the most; so spent the $98 on dinner there instead.

Cute spot for casual american food with an almost underground bus stop bar aesthetic, somewhat reminiscent of Chicago. The food came out super quick, and the bartenders were very nice and attentive. I tried both the Huckleberry cocktail and the Peach Bellini with the distillery's own vodka, and the liquor was clean and smooth. I also had the Whiskey Chicken and Shrimp sandwich, which was messy, but so worth it. I would call it a medium price range, as well. Not super expensive but you can definitely rack up a bill if you get too excited about the specialty drinks. Overall a great place! Visited twice over the vacation weekend, and would visit again!

Stopped in on a Sunday on our way home home from Minneapolis. The kids had fun pushing buttons on the gambling machines, and my wife and I enjoyed GREAT food. The pulled pork and beef +shrimp sandwiches were awesome. You could tell they make good quality food. The onion rings were good, and my loaded tots were fantastic. Next summer in the Dells we will be back!

The bartender was so not friendly. My husband accidentally spilled his shot of whisky and was told, "you can't expect me to refill that for no cost if you spilled it,". Not good service, ok food and won't be back.

Food was great, drinks were phenomenal and the service was amazing! We are from Indiana and just came into town for a weekend and me and my husband decided to just stop in and we are so glad we did! We will be back!

The serving staff were very friendly, the food was amazing and very well cooked. The food also wasn't exceptionally expensive for being a one-off location. It's a very nice place to grab a bite and drink with a buddy.Vegetarian options: There are some menu items that are vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: The wait staff are very accommodating. They would definitely comply with a request.

Loved the food. This was our first visit. We live locally and will definitely be back. The music was low so we could visit, and the server was outstanding.
